It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Before the meal was even finished, Fang Shisan bowed his head and apologized.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time. I should have handled it, but something happened in the north... I had to rush over to stabilize the situation."

Based on the principle that I won't ask if you don't ask, I didn't ask what happened in the north. Since I decided to play the role of a person who is focused on work, I should try not to ask questions at this stage. Otherwise, if the other party suspects that I am spying on military intelligence, all my efforts will be wasted.

Fang Shisan poked the table and the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks before he found the dish. He didn't care what the dish was and picked up a piece of it with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

I also took a bite of food, swallowed it and replied:

"It is hard work indeed. But I feel that Miss Thirteen is really hard-working on weekdays, managing the army and the people's livelihood. I can help Miss Thirteen share some of the pressure, and I feel more at ease."

"What's so safe and insecure about this? It's obviously you who helped me."

Fang Shisan said somewhat stubbornly.

"Okay, then let me help you this time. Miss Thirteen, please remember this favor, because I will ask for it back in the future."

Fang Shisan smiled and said:

"That's more like it. Well, later, when I become the general of Tian Ce Mansion, I will appoint you as the first deputy general of Tian Ce Mansion."

I was stunned for a moment.

This was also the first time Fang Shisan talked to me about her ideals.

Tiance Mansion is the institution that commands the king's army. When the lords of Yongtian Kingdom were not so powerful, Tiance Mansion was the institution that commanded the national army and was unrivaled. Later, when the lords became powerful, their own armies no longer obeyed the dispatch of Tiance Mansion, and Tiance Mansion became the special institution that commanded the royal army.

Being the general of Tiance Palace is a big deal.

Because it is hard for me to imagine Fang Shisan abandoning Fang Lita, running to the king to submit a resume, and volunteering to join Tiance Mansion. It is impossible. Then the only possibility is that she wants to assist her brother Fang Lita to conquer the entire Yongtian Kingdom, support her brother Fang Lita as the king, and then naturally become the general of Tiance Mansion when she is in charge of Fang Lita's army.

What a big appetite!

Having said that, I sincerely admire Fang Shisan.

People who can succeed without working hard are envied, people who can succeed with working hard are admired, people who cannot succeed despite working hard are respected, and people who cannot succeed without working hard... isn't that me?

As the fourth child in the family and the last one in the family, I still have some admiration for Fang Shisan who is ahead of me.

The most important thing is that she said this to me.

This was also a key factor in her starting to trust me.

So I answered:

"It may take a long time for me to repay this favor. But I am willing to wait. Miss Thirteen, don't forget that from now on, I am the designated first deputy general of Tiance Mansion."

Fang Shisan nodded, picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. While swallowing it, Fang Shisan said softly:

"I have been defined as a useless person since I was a child. Among all the people, only Ata is very kind to me. I have no other talents, I can only do what I am good at as much as possible. Ata wants to be the Lord of Zhaochen, Ata wants to be the king, I will continue to work hard for both of them. Because in his eyes, I, the elder sister, can do everything, and I must live up to that expectation."

Fang Shisan breathed a sigh of relief.

I glanced at her and the smile on her face didn't seem fake.

She wanted to ask whether the relationship between Fang Lita and her was as bad as the outside world said, but after thinking about it, she decided not to ask.

The smile on Fang Shisan's face is full of happiness, and she becomes very happy when she mentions her younger brother.

Fang Shisan was very happy that day and talked to me a lot. For example, the earrings she was wearing were given by her brother. Although they were very cheap, she always wore them. For example, when she was a child, her brother would often read various military strategies to her by her bedside, and she listened quietly.

She said it was the happiest time of her life.

9. Initially showing his talent as a traitor

Things are slowly getting back on track.

In fact, I don't need to do anything deliberately to win Fang Shisan's trust. As long as I help her do everything at hand, she will gradually become inseparable from me. It's like a person who used to chop trees with stones suddenly got an axe. He would definitely have doubts at first, but as he gets more and more comfortable with it, he will accept the axe.

This is exactly what I am like to Fang Shisan.

A tool, half a friend, that's the status quo. In fact, I am quite satisfied with it.

During these days, I still haven't found the rift between Fang Shisan and Fang Li Tower.

To put it simply, it's like poaching without even knowing where to start.

I am not the kind of person who will destroy something if I can't get it, but if I let Fang Shisan continue to act, sooner or later she will pose a threat to Yuxi City. Moreover, I have promised Fang Yuan that I will attack from both north and south to swallow up ten cities including Tianxing City, so as for Fang Shisan, although I don't want to think about it, sometimes I can't help but think of the scene of me stabbing her chest with a dagger in my mind.

Another week passed, and Fang Shisan invited me to participate in a military exercise and told me a lot of things from military books.

I also know a little about military strategy, so it was quite pleasant to talk about it.

Only then did I realize that Fang Shisan might be feeling very uncomfortable holding back, and once he started talking he couldn't stop:

"Speaking of the most classic battle in which the weak defeated the strong in the past fifty years, it must be the Battle of Qiaojiang. The Lord of Cangzhou led an army of 800,000 to the east, but was blocked by the 200,000 white-clothed men of the previous generation. The fighting was deafening that night, and the Lord of Cangzhou was determined to win, but he didn't expect to be distracted by the white-clothed ministers. The great swordsman Loren rode alone behind him and burned down the camps for 700 miles, causing 800,000 people to lose their composure. The Lord of Cangzhou led his direct troops to attack the white-clothed men, but the other side was desperate and cut off their retreat, resulting in a draw. In the early morning, Lord Longhori led his army south and surrounded the Lord of Cangzhou. That great defeat also shattered the Lord of Cangzhou's dream of becoming an emperor for thirty years."

When talking about interesting military stories, Fang Shisan is like a little child, sometimes laughing happily and sometimes feeling sad and sighing.

I said calmly:

"There is no such thing as an ever-victorious general in the world. The Lord of Cangzhou raised his army, and within two months, it was like a wildfire, sweeping across seven or eight territories without losing a single battle. In the end, he lost to the previous generation of white-robed ministers. But do you think the battle at Qiaojiang was really a beautiful one? I don't think so. There were three great swordsmen in the world at that time, two of them stood on the side of the royal family, and one was stationed in Lingwu. The Lord of Cangzhou had no cards in his hand, so it's no wonder that he was burned down for seven hundred miles."

This time it was my turn to help her push the wheelchair. In the empty suburbs were soldiers training hard, while Fang Shisan and I strolled outside the military formation and chatted for a while.

Fang Shisan argued:

"'Heroes all over the world come from Cangzhou'. The Lord of Cangzhou himself is also a genius in using troops. But if we really want to talk about it, I think it's still the White-robed Minister. It's better to say that every generation of White-robed Ministers is equally strong. This generation has just entered the palace, so I can't tell anything."

I remembered that when the little Princess Lana wrote to me, she seemed to have vaguely mentioned this matter.

The term "white-robed prime minister" sounds very grand, but if you look closely, it is basically the so-called top scholar. There is no imperial examination system in this world, but there is no monopoly on selecting officials. Especially in the position of prime minister, the selection must be very cautious, and there is a special organization "White Guard" to select. This organization is considered the most mysterious generation of organizations led by the royal family. Its members are spread all over the world, and the confidentiality is extremely good. Their only task is to select a strong and abnormal all-rounder to serve as prime minister to the royal family. Because most of the people selected are from common people, they are also called white-robed prime ministers.

I smiled and said:

"It seems that it is really difficult to get my position as the first deputy general of Tiance Mansion. If you go against that white-robed minister in the future, are you sure you can win?"

Fang Shisan just said:

"It's hard to say before we play a game."

She comforted me:

“But I will try my best to do it.”

We discussed for a long time and had a great time. If I forget my identity, we are just like a pair of good friends with common interests. We talked about topics that interested each other and the conversation was full of laughter.

Then, after sending Fang Shisan back today, I took a look at the sky.

It was gloomy, cloudy and there was no moonlight.

After everyone went to bed, I tiptoed into Fang Shisan's room.

She lay on the bed, her brows slightly furrowed, still full of worries. I tiptoed to her desk, flipped through the documents, and found a sketch on a piece of white paper. It was obvious that it was drawn by Fang Shisan, because many of the lines were not connected coherently, but the outline of the formation and the layout of the army could be seen at a glance. I took a look, memorized it, and then restored everything to its original state.

After I got out, I found a piece of silk cloth and restored the contents of Fang Shisan's map on it. Then I quietly turned over the city lord's mansion, went to a deserted place, and blew a whistle. A gray carrier pigeon landed on my shoulder, and I stuffed the piece of cloth into the small tube on its feet and let it fly out in the night.

The next day I ate and drank as usual, as if nothing had happened.

In the following days, I went to Fang Shisan every few days to learn something and sent it out by pigeon. Within a week, Fang Shisan's brows became more and more furrowed. I was very happy to see this, but I was also very sad. So I tried to help her do more things and create a situation where I would share her worries.

For example, there were many criminals in Tianxing City, but after I defeated their uprisings one after another, everything seemed to return to peace. I was an angel and a devil, helping Fang Shisan while doing bad things behind his back, and I lived a fun life every day.

But Fang Shisan looked more and more worried.

She always gets up early and goes to bed late, drawing at the table, but because of this, she sleeps very deeply every day, making it easier for me to steal things.

The most important thing is that I don’t steal every file, I just do it every now and then.

Fang Shisan couldn't be sure whether there was really a traitor. During this period, she went to find Fang Lita once. The two seemed to talk about something, but in the end Fang Shisan still came back depressed.

Suddenly one night, Fang Shisan invited me to dinner.

I was shocked at the time and thought I was discovered. But after thinking it over again, I decided to go over and take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw Fang Shisan lying on the table with a flushed face, his cheeks propped up, and an unfinished bottle of wine in his hand.

Hearing the footsteps, Fang Shisan showed a tired smile and said softly:

"You're here. Can you... talk to me?"

10. Beauty is drunk

It was the first time I saw Fang Shisan drunk.

How should I put it, there is a kind of morbid beauty.

She was one of those people who was extremely rational, but suddenly became a little confused. Her little face, which was always full of worries, was now crying and laughing, making people want to hold her in their arms, rub her head, warm her with body temperature, and comfort her with kind words.

But of course I wouldn't do these things. I sat opposite her, and just as I sat down, Fang Shisan said in a daze:

"Jia De...! Are you an undercover agent sent by Yuxi City?"

Lying in a big trough.

I was filled with fear and anxiety, but after a moment's thought, I realized that I had not revealed any flaws, so I answered calmly:

"Undercover? Why do you say that? What happened?"

Fang Shisan raised his head, smiled gently, and said:

"Yeah. I knew you weren't a bad person. How could there be a bad person like you? It's obviously your first time here, and you've obviously suffered a lot of grievances, but you still want to help me."

I felt a little uncomfortable after hearing that.

It was obvious that Fang Shisan was drunk and his speech was not very coherent. He was just talking about the undercover, but suddenly he changed the subject and said to himself:

"Fang Yuan's army is gathering in the north and is about to go to war with us. He may have found helpers in the Sea of ​​Clouds... He was able to see through my battle formations several times."

Fang Shisan's face was filled with a bitter smile.

Where can he find any expert? That expert is actually me.

Although I said that, in order not to expose myself, I pretended to be shocked and said:

"Fang Yuan? Aren't my wife and family over there? Are we going to go to war with him? What about my wife and family? Didn't you say it's okay? Didn't you say we'll see each other soon?"

The evil ones are the first to complain.

Fang Shisan opened his mouth, his face was about to cry, but no tears flowed from his blind eyes. How much pressure must one bear to be extremely sad but unable to cry? I couldn't bear to say anything more for a moment, but unexpectedly Fang Shisan drank a glass of wine, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to me.

I unfolded it and saw only a few lines of text:

"My thirteenth sister: When there are no heroes, young men become famous. My father is old, but he chose a thief as his heir. I am not willing to surrender, so I am determined to rise up and take the south to consolidate my strength, and then go north to fight my father. I won't go into details, we will meet on the battlefield. I know that you have a warrior named Jiade, and his wife and family are in my hands. I wanted to use this as a threat to force him to join my camp. But his wife and family did not want him to be controlled by others, so they all committed suicide. This matter is my fault, and it is also your fault. You can do it yourself."

I almost laughed out loud after watching it.

This fat guy is really good at it. How can I have a wife and family with him? It's all nonsense. This fat guy made full use of it. He simply killed the non-existent person and then divided the pot equally. It's simply a classic example of making a pot out of nothing.

Although I wanted to laugh, I am also an old actor, so I got into the role quickly and slammed the table:

"That Fang Yuan, that Fang Yuan is too much! I will never forgive him!"

As I said this, I pretended to rush out.

Fang Shisan smiled bitterly, drank his wine, and said softly:

"Didn't he say, 'It's also your fault'? Aren't you surprised why he said that?"

I stopped, stopped talking, and stared at Fang Shisan coldly.

Fang Shisan's tone was full of self-blame:

"He once sent me two letters, explaining the situation, hoping that I would tell you and let you choose to stay or leave. But I... didn't want you to leave at the time, so I didn't tell you. I told him that you didn't want to, so he decided to use your wife and family as a threat..."

We overturned the table, and the delicacies on the table were scattered all over the floor. The plates were broken, and the delicacies that Fang Shisan, who had always been frugal, had bought with great determination fell to the ground without being touched. I grabbed her collar with both hands and roared:

"Why! Why! I trusted you so much... Why! Give me back my wife! Give me back my family!!"

Fang Shisan sobbed, her hands loosened, and the wine jug fell on her legs, spilling all the wine on her body.

Fang Shisan muttered softly:

"sorry Sorry……"

I lifted her up from the wheelchair, pulled her in front of me, and yelled in front of her face:

"You... murderer!! I am so unlucky to have met someone like you. You are just... a cold-blooded venomous snake. Do you really have such a black heart? Why! I need a reason!"

Fang Shisan seemed to have difficulty breathing. Although there were no tears in her eyes, she was indeed crying, and she was out of breath and kept apologizing to me. As soon as I let go, she fell back and fell on the wheelchair. She stretched out her two hands, and her slender five fingers kept grabbing in the air, as if she was afraid that I would leave. It was not until she touched my chest that she breathed a sigh of relief. Her two hands gently wandered around, hugged me, and kept saying:

"I'm sorry...it's all my fault..."

I squatted down, looked at her coldly, and said:

"I can... allow you to say something at the end. I won't kill you, but you have to pay a sufficient price."
